BRIDGEPORT, MI — The Continental Indoor Football League has released its All-CIFL teams for the 2013 season.

Head coaches throughout the league voted on the selections that saw four Saginaw Sting players earn first team honors and six more named to the second team.

Saginaw overcome a midseason struggle to advance to the CIFL championship before falling 37-36 to the Erie Explosion when a last-second pass attempt was tipped in the end zone.

The group of all-league honorees is headlined by first team quarterback AJ McKenna, while all-purpose playmaker C.J. Tarver was named to the first team as a wide receiver. Offensive lineman Eric Brim also received first team honors, as well as defensive back Jamar Hibler.

Saginaw’s group of second-team players includes offensive linemen Josh Pack and Brian Moore, as well as kicker Chris Kollias on offense. Defensive lineman Nate Snyder, linebacker Andrew DeWeerd and defensive back Jamaal Hibler were also named to the second team.

Erie’s Alfonso Hoggard was named the Fan MVP for 2013 after winning a vote of CIFL faithful.
